is not a good idea.

I looked at my home page video today and thought “Good Grief!” I am going to leave it up though. Good thing Duchess (my mom) doesn’t do computers she would fly in from Ohio to shoot me.

I posted on Facebook about domestic abuse. Tough issue but I am going to be doing a speech for a minister who really wants to speak to that issue in the church. He says he knows it happens among his membership and is refusing to turn a blind eye.

I know this is a tough subject especially for those who have lived through it. I read a lot about it. I have adjudicated thousands of abuse cases. I’ve been on the board of a domestic violence center and woman’s shelter. My most cherished award is The 2002 Humanitarian Award from an abuse center for things I was trying on the bench to help.

But it’s never enough. I want to talk about survival and and coping. Any nuggets of wisdom out there?

Peace. . . let’s try to create some.
